What you need to run a professional tanning service
A complete spray tan setup goes well beyond just the tan itself. The kit a working therapist actually needs covers six distinct categories:
- Spray tan equipment — tanning booth, spray tan tent or pop-up booth for proper containment
- Tanning solution — your chosen brand and shade range
- Application tools — mitts, blending brushes, applicators
- Client prep and hygiene products — barrier cream, exfoliating spritz, primer
- Client disposables — sticky feet, G-strings/T-strings, eye protection, hair caps
- Tan removal and aftercare — exfoliating mitts, tan removal wipes
Get any one of these wrong and the whole service suffers. Proper preparation prevents patchy tans, hygiene supplies protect your clients and your reputation, and trade-pack quantities keep your cost-per-treatment competitive across the working week.

Spray tan tents and booths
The proper professional standard for containing tan overspray and protecting your treatment room. Spray tan tents create a defined client space, prevent overspray on furniture and walls, and signal a properly professional service standard to clients:
- Sienna X Tanning Booth Debut BV1001 — premium professional tanning booth from Sienna X, the UK's leading professional spray tan brand. Properly built for daily salon use with proper containment and ventilation.

- Fake Bake Pop Up Spray Tan Tent — pop-up format tent that assembles in seconds and packs down for easy transport. The right choice for mobile therapists, training environments, or salons needing flexible tan-room setups.
Self-tan and spray tan solutions
Pro Tan
The American professional self-tan brand, properly trusted across competitive bodybuilding and fitness industries for decades. Pro Tan delivers proper deep-tan results, with a hypoallergenic option for clients with sensitivity issues:

Application mitts and tools
Proper application makes the difference between a streaky patchy result and a flawless even tan. Quality mitts deliver smooth coverage without absorbing too much product, and protect your hands from staining:
- Sienna X Self Tan Mitt Black — the trusted premium application mitt from the UK's leading spray tan brand. Properly built construction with non-absorbent fabric for even product distribution

Client prep and hygiene products
Barrier creams
Properly essential for any tanning service. Barrier creams protect high-absorption areas (palms, soles, ankles, wrists, knuckles, cuticles) from absorbing too much tan colour, which is what causes the dreaded "orange palms" and uneven darker patches at joint creases:
- Sienna X Barrier Cream 500ml — proper salon trade size, the workhorse barrier cream for working spray tan therapists
- Crazy Angel Professional Barrier Cream 250ml — alternative professional barrier cream for treatment-room use
- Vines Biocrin All Purpose Barrier Cream 450ml — multi-purpose barrier cream from the established British brand, properly cost-effective for high-volume practices
- Tanya Whitebits Barrier Cream 200ml — retail-friendly size for salon retail or home use
Exfoliating and prep products
- Sienna X Exfoliating Spritz 500ml — pre-tan exfoliating spritz that removes dead skin cells for properly smooth even tan adhesion. Used during prep before application
- Sienna X Perfect Self Tan Primer 75ml — primer that creates the ideal canvas for tan application, ensuring proper development and longer-lasting results
- Salon Care Wipes x 100 — bulk pack of cleansing wipes for general treatment-room hygiene and surface cleaning between clients
Disposable client supplies
The non-negotiable hygiene supplies for any working spray tan service. Single-use disposables protect both the client and the technician, and are properly expected as standard in professional service:
Sticky feet
Essential for protecting the soles of clients' feet during spray tan application — without sticky feet, the soles develop unevenly dark patches that look properly unprofessional:
- Agenda Cardboard Sticky Feet Pack of 25 Pairs — environmentally considered cardboard sticky feet in proper trade pack format
- Disposable Foam Sticky Feet Black/Pink x 25 Pairs — soft foam sticky feet, available in black and pink for client preference
- DEO Disposable Black Sticky Feet Pack of 25 — alternative professional-grade sticky feet from DEO
G-strings and T-strings
Disposable client underwear protecting the client's privacy and preventing tan transfer onto their own clothing:
- Ladies Disposable G String White x 50 (One Size) — bulk trade pack of white disposable G-strings
- Ladies Disposable G String Black x 50 (One Size) — black option for client preference, also in bulk pack of 50
- S-PRO Disposable T-Strings Pack of 50 — alternative T-string format from S-PRO, properly trade-pack quantity
Eye protection
- Wink-Ease Deflectors Disposable Eye Protection Pack of 250 — bulk trade pack of disposable eye deflectors. Genuinely essential for any spray tan service to protect clients' eyes from tan overspray. Pack of 250 is properly cost-effective per use for high-volume practices
Measuring and treatment-room supplies
- Disposable Graduated Measures 30ml 80 Cups — bulk pack of single-use measuring cups for accurate solution dispensing per client
- PVC Protective Floor Covering 132cm x 150cm Black — protective floor mat for spray tan stations, preventing solution from staining floors and surfaces
Tan removal and exfoliating
For removing existing tan before reapplication, evening out faded patches, or correcting tanning mistakes:
- Tan Eraser Exfoliating Tan Removal Mitt — properly effective exfoliating mitt for removing built-up tan and prepping skin for fresh application
- Sienna X Tan Removal Wipes x 80 — bulk pack of pre-soaked tan removal wipes for quick removal of mistakes, application errors, or for full tan removal between services

How to deliver a professional spray tan service
- Set up your space. Erect the spray tan tent or booth, lay down PVC protective floor covering, and ensure proper ventilation in the treatment area.
- Prep the client properly. Provide disposable G-string or T-string, sticky feet, hair cap if needed, and eye protection. Apply Sienna X Exfoliating Spritz to prep the skin, followed by Sienna X Perfect Self Tan Primer for optimal canvas.
- Apply barrier cream to high-absorption areas — cuticles, palms, soles, knuckles, ankles, knees, elbows. Use Sienna X Barrier Cream 500ml for trade application or Vines Biocrin for bulk economy.
- Apply your chosen tanning solution using your spray tan equipment, working in proper systematic patterns to ensure even coverage.
- Allow the tan to develop per the brand's specific timing guidance. Most modern tans develop within 6-8 hours.
- Provide aftercare guidance — clients should avoid water, exercise, and tight clothing for the development period. Recommend retail-friendly products for at-home maintenance.
- Clean down between clients. Use Salon Care Wipes for surface cleaning, replace floor covering as needed, and refresh the disposable supplies for the next appointment.
Why bulk trade pack sizes make commercial sense
If you're running regular spray tan services, the per-unit price difference between trade-pack quantities and consumer-size purchases is properly significant. The disposable supplies in particular — sticky feet (Pack of 25), G-strings (Pack of 50), Wink-Ease eye protection (Pack of 250), graduated measures (80 cups), and Sienna X tan removal wipes (Pack of 80) — all deliver significantly better cost-per-use in the bulk trade format compared to consumer single-pack equivalents.
For high-volume practices, bulk barrier cream (Sienna X 500ml, Vines Biocrin 450ml) and bulk disposables genuinely transform the cost structure of running tanning services. A salon doing 10-20 spray tans per week burns through consumables fast, and trade-pack pricing makes the service properly margin-positive rather than marginal.
Frequently asked questions
What's the proper professional spray tan setup?
The complete kit covers six categories: spray tan tent or booth (Sienna X Tanning Booth or pop-up tent), tanning solution (your chosen brand), application tools (mitts, blending brushes), prep products (exfoliating spritz, primer, barrier cream), client disposables (sticky feet, G-strings, eye protection, hair caps), and aftercare supplies (tan removal wipes, exfoliating mitts). Most working spray tan therapists carry all six categories as standard kit.
Do I really need barrier cream for every spray tan?
Yes, properly. Without barrier cream applied to high-absorption areas (palms, soles, cuticles, joints), those areas develop unevenly dark patches that look properly unprofessional. Barrier cream is genuinely non-negotiable for any quality spray tan service. The Sienna X 500ml trade-size bottle and Vines Biocrin 450ml are the cost-effective workhorses for working salons.
What's the difference between Sienna X and Pro Tan?
Different positioning. Sienna X is the UK's leading professional spray tan brand, properly trusted across thousands of salons with vegan, cruelty-free credentials and the broadest professional system support range. Pro Tan is the American specialist with heritage in competitive bodybuilding and stage tanning, particularly known for the Desirably Dark deep-tan formula and the Hypoallergenic Accelerator for sensitive skin. Many salons stock both — Sienna X for everyday client work, Pro Tan for events, competitions, and clients wanting maximum dark colour.
What's the best self-tan mitt to retail to clients?
For salon retail, the Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Soft Velvet Self Tan Mitt reads premium and converts well at retail prices. The Sienna X Self Tan Mitt Black is the proper professional choice for clients buying for serious at-home self-tan use. Velvotan is the heritage British option that genuinely committed self-tan users will recognise. Stock 2-3 mitt options at different price points to capture the full retail spectrum.
Are pop-up spray tan tents worth it for mobile work?
Properly yes. The Black Tanning Tent with Carry Case and Fake Bake Pop Up Spray Tan Tent assemble in minutes, pack down small, and protect both your equipment and the client's home environment. For mobile therapists, a portable tent is genuinely essential rather than optional — clients expect proper professional setup, and a portable tent delivers that without filling your car with bulky equipment.
How many disposable sticky feet does a working salon need?
For a salon doing 10-20 spray tans per week, a 25-pair pack of sticky feet lasts 2-3 weeks. For high-volume practices doing 30+ tans weekly, multiple packs in stock at once is the sensible approach. The cost-per-tan for sticky feet is properly low in trade pack format — never run out, it's properly unprofessional to skip them.
What's the difference between G-strings and T-strings?
Different shapes for different client preferences. G-strings have a thinner back strap; T-strings have a wider T-shaped back strap that some clients find more comfortable. Stock both formats so clients can choose based on personal preference. The bulk pack of 50 in each format gives proper flexibility for client choice without committing to large stock.
Are Wink-Ease eye deflectors really necessary?
Yes — properly important for client safety. Spray tan overspray near the eyes can cause irritation, redness, and in severe cases, corneal damage. Wink-Ease deflectors are a genuinely essential client safety product, and the Pack of 250 trade format makes the cost-per-use properly negligible. Never run a spray tan without proper eye protection in place.
How do I remove tan that has gone wrong?
Two product approaches depending on severity. For minor application errors or slight unevenness, Sienna X Tan Removal Wipes x 80 deliver quick correction with pre-soaked formula. For more significant tan removal or full reset before reapplication, the Tan Eraser Exfoliating Tan Removal Mitt physically exfoliates the built-up tan to reveal fresh skin underneath. Both are genuine essentials for any working spray tan therapist's correction toolkit.
What's the proper aftercare to recommend to clients?
Standard aftercare guidance: avoid water, exercise, sweat-causing activity, tight clothing, and shaving for the full development period (typically 6-8 hours). After development, recommend gentle moisturising with non-oil-based products, avoiding harsh exfoliants for 3-5 days, and using gentle skincare to maintain the tan. For repeat clients, exfoliating gently before each new application helps the tan apply evenly and last longer.
Are these products vegan and cruelty-free?
Varies by brand. Sienna X is vegan and cruelty-free across their range. Tanya Whitebits is vegan and cruelty-free. Other brands vary — always check individual product specifications if vegan or cruelty-free credentials matter for your salon positioning or client requirements.
Can I use these accessories with any spray tan solution brand?
Mostly yes. The application mitts, sticky feet, G-strings, eye protection, barrier creams, and disposables in this collection work across any professional spray tan solution brand. The Sienna X system support products (primer, exfoliating spritz, barrier cream) are formulated to integrate with the Sienna X solution range specifically, but work properly fine alongside other brands too. Build your kit with the brands and products that suit your specific practice.
